Victor Osimhen and his colleagues and the staff of Galatasaray met with the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to mark the continuation of their trophy celebration.
Mr. Erdogan shook hands with each of the players, including Galatasaray’s staff, as he played host to them.
The president felicitated with Galatasaray’s community yesterday and urged them to make the country proud in the Champions League next season by putting out an impressive performance.
The advice expects a lot and pressure could take a toll on the players, especially Victor Osimhen, whose robust contributions led the club to its 25th league title and to earn a fifth star on her badge.
Celebrating with them, Erdogan has this to say on his X:
We came together today in Istanbul with the esteemed athletes and executives of Galatasaray, which has achieved significant success by becoming the champions in the Super League and the Turkish Cup, and has earned the right to wear the fifth star on its coat of arms with 25 championships.
He went further to say:
“I believe that Galatasaray a distinguished club that stands out not only with the trophies it has won in its history but also with its sports culture, the exemplary athletes it has trained in many branches and the contributions it has made to the image of our country, will make us proud in the Champions League next season. I send my greetings to Galatasaray fans and the entire Galatasaray community.”
Meanwhile, as the celebration continues to unfold in dimensions, Galatasaray faithfuls have continued to pressure Osimhen to stay beyond this season. The possibility that this campaign will sway the 26-year-old seems slim as his English league ambition is overwhelming.
